1．介紹
為了提高齒輪的傳動性能和滿足一些特殊的要求，一種新的齒輪應(yīng)運而生；他被命名為“LogiX”為增加一些優(yōu)異的性能和漸開線齒輪
另外擁有以上兩種類型齒輪的優(yōu)點的新型齒輪還有一些別的特殊的優(yōu)點.在這種新的齒輪牙，連續(xù)的凸面聯(lián)絡(luò)被執(zhí)行從它的齒根高對它的補充,那里被確定的安全相對彎曲有很多點。這里這種點被叫著零位點（N-P）許多的出現(xiàn)在（N-Ps）點在LogiX 齒輪期間的濾網(wǎng)過程可能導致一個滑動系數(shù), 并且濾網(wǎng)傳輸表現(xiàn)成為相應(yīng)地幾乎滾動的摩擦。因而這種新型的齒輪有許多好處，譬如更高的傳動強度、壽命長而且比標準斷開線齒輪有更大的傳輸比率。實驗性結(jié)果表示, 給一定數(shù)量的（N-Ps） 在二個捕捉的LogiX 齒輪之間, 3倍的傳動疲勞強度和2.5倍的抗彎疲勞強度遠遠比那些標準斷開線齒輪承受能力大。而且, 最小的牙數(shù)可達到3個這是那些標準斷開線齒輪沒法比的。
這種被認為新型的LogiX 齒輪還有很多未被解決的問題。計算機數(shù)字控制(CNC) 技術(shù)的發(fā)展必然被用來研究更高效率的方法來發(fā)展這種新型齒輪。因此進一步提高研究這種齒輪的寬度和實際應(yīng)用的加速度顯的很重要。本文有信心在這個新時代里把齒輪濾網(wǎng)理論和應(yīng)用取得歷史性的突破。
2．齒牙側(cè)面的設(shè)計原則
根據(jù)齒輪濾網(wǎng)和制造業(yè)理論, 為了簡化問題分析, 從齒輪的基本的機架開始入手來研究。讓我們首先從討論LogiX 齒輪的基本機架開始。圖1 顯示LogiX 機架的設(shè)計原則的劃分和斷開線曲線。在圖一中P.L代表 LogiX 機架的節(jié)線。選擇點是為了形成角α0。P.L O1N1.兩個徑向的交叉點O1n0 和O1N1，節(jié)線P.L和N1，n0。使得延長到使得兩個基圓的切線相交到，和幅線相交于兩個圓的交點和節(jié)線P.L交點，兩個圓的交點和節(jié)線P.L交點。使得公切線和基圓相交和，在有關(guān)齒側(cè)面點m0和m1方面曲率半徑應(yīng)該是: ，在節(jié)線上相交于中心。

3.1 基本的LogiX 機架的數(shù)學模塊
根據(jù)上述設(shè)計原則, 每個精確曲線外形的曲率中心應(yīng)該在機架節(jié)線上找出, 和每點在相對曲度連接的價值不同，在漸開線曲線上的應(yīng)該是零點。外形牙的設(shè)計是關(guān)于節(jié)線對稱的,齒根高凹面和凸面是互補的。因而作為LogiX外形牙的整體, 它可以被確切的劃分成為四份, 如圖3所示 。座標設(shè)定如圖4中所示, 節(jié)線P.L在座標起點O 與交點m0之間和形成最初的漸開線曲線。

4自身固有參數(shù)和它們選擇的原因?qū)ogiX齒輪的影響
除標準漸開線的基本參數(shù)外, LogiX齒牙側(cè)面有自己固有的基本參數(shù)，譬如起始壓力角度、相對壓力角度δ,起始基圓半徑 G0,等等。這些參數(shù)的選擇對LogiX齒牙側(cè)面漸開線的影響非常大,它的結(jié)構(gòu)形式會直接影響力齒輪的傳動能力。因此基本參數(shù)的選擇非常重要。
4.1起始壓力角的選擇和影響
考慮到要設(shè)計較高傳動性能的齒輪,起始壓力角為0度。但是最后的計算結(jié)果表示 LogiX 齒牙側(cè)面加工工具的角度和起始的壓力角度是相等的。這樣起始壓力角度不能對準零位。比較相對于兩倍圓周-弧的齒輪，我們可以推出的起始壓力角越小,齒輪越大越容易產(chǎn)生根切。因此起始壓力角應(yīng)該不僅僅是零,但也不能太小，同時，從例 3,4 和5,可以看出對LogiX齒牙方面的影響可以用圖7來直接描述。顯然地，起始壓力角度數(shù)的增加會引起 LogiX 齒架的曲率的增大。如果選擇一個較大的齒架，而起始壓力角太小的話。它的齒頂會變的很窄或產(chǎn)生根切現(xiàn)象。因此 LogiX 齒牙側(cè)面選較大時，應(yīng)該選一個較小的起始壓力角,當LogiX 齒牙側(cè)面選較小時，選一個較大的起始壓力角。
通常,實踐計算經(jīng)驗告訴我們，起始壓力角 取2度到12度，而且LogiX齒輪模型越大，起始壓力角越小。
4.2起始基圓半徑 G0的選擇和影響
根據(jù)公式在LogiX 齒輪牙的側(cè)面的不同位置有兩個參數(shù)影響基圓半徑 Gi：在牙齒描繪的不同位置的 LogiX 齒輪: 一個是G0 另一個是起始壓力角。圖8所示的是當給定參數(shù)α0和δ時G0對LogiX齒側(cè)面的影響。顯然地,如果G0增加，新型齒輪牙的側(cè)面曲率將變得越來越小。顯而易見，它會隨著G0的減小而逐漸增大。因此新型齒架的參數(shù)大時G0也應(yīng)選大的，同時當齒架的參數(shù)小時G0也選小。
4.3壓力角δ的選擇和影響
在圖 9中顯示參數(shù)δ的變化對齒牙的影響。根據(jù) LogiX齒牙的形成過程，參數(shù)δ越小在LogiX齒輪的兩齒之間形成的N-Ps越大。根據(jù)2.1中的描述相對壓力角在N-P mk中的關(guān)系如下：
如式5和12,選擇比較大的參數(shù)δ相應(yīng)的參數(shù)也比較大，選擇適當?shù)钠鹗級毫呛妥畲髩毫?，壓力角越小N-Ps越多，相反地,比較小的參數(shù)δ，N-Ps的數(shù)字較大。當δ取0.0006度時，零點的數(shù)字將超過 46,000 。在這情形,選擇一個齒輪模數(shù)m =100, 兩個N-Ps點之間會變的很小。也就是說，在整個 LogiX齒輪 的運動過程中，兩個嚙合齒輪間在很短的時間內(nèi)會參數(shù)打滑和滾動。N-Ps數(shù)目越多在兩齒輪間越長相反傳動時間越短。因此它的磨損減少了使用壽命就增長了。但是, 考慮到承載能力的限制，速度的改變、角度的因素等等當切割這種類型的齒輪時必須用CNC機床刀具，相關(guān)壓力角的選擇非常小，一般必須滿足度。
圖7：α0對LogiX齒輪側(cè)面的影響 圖8 ：G0對LogiX齒輪側(cè)面的影響
圖9 ：δ對LogiX齒輪側(cè)面的影響
4.4 選擇合理參數(shù)舉例
基于上述對LogiX齒輪固有參數(shù)選擇的分析規(guī)則，對于不同的零件模型，當它的相對壓力角為0.05度時，起始壓力角和基圓半徑合理的計算結(jié)果如下表1所作的參考。事實上, 實際的選擇應(yīng)該根據(jù)具體切斷情況和特殊需求而定。
5 結(jié)論
下面是根據(jù)調(diào)查結(jié)果得出的結(jié)論：
1. 通過進一步的深入研究可推出LogiX齒輪的二維嚙合傳動規(guī)律。
2. 討論研究了齒輪自身基本參數(shù)譬如起始壓力角，起始基圓半徑和相對壓力角以及參數(shù)的選擇，對LogiX 齒輪牙側(cè)和性能的影響。
3. 通過對LogiX 齒輪理論系統(tǒng)和數(shù)學基礎(chǔ)的進一步研究建立了現(xiàn)代 CNC 技術(shù)。LogiX 齒牙的特性：它不如常規(guī)漸開線齒輪應(yīng)用廣但是它是一種承載能力大，體積小，壽命長的產(chǎn)品。

Abstract The development of scientific technology and productivity
has called for increasingly higher requirements of gear
transmission performance. The key factor influencing dynamic
gear performance is the form of the meshed gear tooth profile. To
improve a gear’s transmission performance, a new type of gear
called the LogiX gear was developed in the early 1990s. However,
for this special kind of gear there remain many unknown
theoretical and practical problems to be solved. In this paper, the
design principle of this new type of gear is further studied and
the mathematical module of its tooth profile deduced. The influence
on the form of this type of tooth profile and its mesh
performance by its inherent basic parameters is discussed, and
reasonable selections for LogiX gear parameters are provided.
Thus the theoretical system information about the LogiX gear are
developed and enriched. This study impacts most significantly
the improvement of load capacity, miniaturisation and durability
of modern kinetic transmission products.

1 Introduction
In order to improve gear transmission performance and satisfy
some special requirements, a new type of gear [1] was put forward;
it was named “LogiX” in order to improve some demerits
of W-N (Wildhaver-Novikov) and involute gears.
Besides having the advantages of both kinds of gears mentioned
above, the new type of gear has some other excellent

characteristics. On this new tooth profile, the continuous concave/
convex contact is carried out from its dedendum to its addendum,
where the engagements with a relative curvature of zero
are assured at many points. Here, this kind of point is called the
null-point (N-P). The presence of many N-Ps during the mesh
process of LogiX gears can result in a smaller sliding coefficient,
and the mesh transmission performance becomes almost
rolling friction accordingly. Thus this new type of gear has many
advantages such as higher contact intensity, longer life and a
larger transmission-ratio power transfer than the standard involute
gear. Experimental results showed that, given a certain
number of N-Ps between two meshed LogiX gears, the contact
fatigue strength is 3 times and the bend fatigue strength 2.5 times
larger than those of the standard involute gear. Moreover, the
minimum tooth number can also be decreased to 3, much smaller
than that of the standard involute gear.
The LogiX gear, regarded as a new type of gear, still presents
some unsolved problems. The development of computer numerical
controlling (CNC) technology must also be taken into consideration
new high-efficiency methods to cut this new type of
gear. Therefore, further study of this new type of gear most
significantly impacts the acceleration of its broad and practical
application. This paper has the potential to usher in a new era in
the history of gear mesh theory and application.
2 Design principle of LogiX tooth profile
According to gear mesh and manufacturing theories, in order to
simplify problem analysis, generally a gear’s basic rack is begun
with some studies [2]. So here let us discuss the basic rack of
the LogiX gear first. Figure 1 shows the design principle of divided
involute curves of the LogiX rack. In Fig. 1, P.L represents
a pitch line of the LogiX rack. One point O1 is selected to form
the angle ?n0O1N1 =α0, P.L ? O1N1. The points of intersection
by two radials O1n0 and O1N1 and the pitch line P.L are N1
and n0. Let O1n0 = G1, extend O1n0 to O_
1 , and make two tangent
basic circles whose centres are O1, O_1 and radii are equal
to G1.. The point of intersection between circle O1 and pitch line
790
Fig. 1. Design principle of LogiX rack tooth profile
P.L is n0. The point of intersection between circle O2 and pitch
line P.L is n1. Make the common tangent g1s1 of basic circle O1
and O_1, then generate two minute involute curves m0s1 and s1m1
whose basic circle centres are O1 and O_1. The radii of curvature
at points m0 and m1 on the tooth profile should be: ρm0 = m0n0,
ρm1 = m1n1, and the centres are met on the pitch line.
Multiple different minute involutes consisting of a LogiX
profile should be arranged for a proper sequence. The pressure
angle of the next minute involute curve m1m2 should have an
increment comparable to its last segment m0m1. The centres of
curvature at extreme points m1, m2, etc. should be on the pitch
line, and the radius of the basic circle is a function of pressure [1]
– it varies from G1 to G2. The condition for joining front and rear
curves is that the radius of curvature at point m1 must be equal
to the radius of curvature just after point m1, and the radius of
curvature at point m2 must be equal to the radius of curvature
just after point m2. Figure 2 shows the connection and process of
generating minute involute curves. According to the above discussion,
the whole tooth profile can be formed.
Fig. 2. Connection of minute involute curves
3 Mathematicmodule of LogiX tooth profile
3.1 Mathematic module of the basic LogiX rack
According to the above-mentioned design principle, the curvature
centre of every finely divided profile curve should be located
at the rack pitch line, and the value of the relative curvature at
every point connecting different minute involute curves should
be zero. The design of the tooth profile is symmetrical with respect
to the pitch line, and the addendum is convex while the
dedendum is concave. Thus for the whole LogiX tooth profile, it
can be dealt with by dividing it into four parts, as shown in Fig. 3.
Set up the coordinates as shown in Fig. 4, where the origin of
the coordinates O coincides with the point of intersection m0 between
rack pitch line P.L and the initial divided minute involute
curve.
According to the coordinates set up in Fig. 4, the formation
of initial minute involute curve m0m1 is shown in Fig. 5.
Fig. 3. LogiX rack tooth profile
Fig. 4. Set-up of coordinates
Fig. 5. Formation process of initial minute involute curve m0m1
791
Here: n0n_0 ? O1O_1 , n1n_1 ? O1O_1 , n1n1 ?n0n_0, and the parameters
α0, δ, G1 and ρm0 are given as initial conditions. The
curvature radius of the involute curve at point s1 is ρs1 = G1δ, or
ρs1 = ρm1+G1δ1. Thus the curvature radius and pressure angle
of the minute involute curve at point m1 are as follows:
ρm1 = ρs1?G1δ1 = G1(δ?δ1) (1)
α1 = α0+δ+δ1 . (2)
According to the geometrical relationship, we can deduce:
tg(α0+δ) =
2G1?G1 cos δ?G1 cos δ1
G1 sin δ?G1 sin δ1
=
2?(cos δ+cos δ1)
sin δ?sin δ1
. (3)
Based on Eqs. 1, 2 and 3 and the forming process of the LogiX
rack profile, the curvature radius formula of an arbitrary point on
the profile is deduced: ρmi =ρmi?1+Gi(δ?δi ). When i =k and
ρm0 = 0?, it is expressed as follows:
ρmk = G1(δ?δ1)+G2(δ?δ2)+· · ·+Gk(δ?δk)
=
k
_i=1
Gi(δ?δi) . (4)
Similarly, the pressure angle on an arbitrary k point of the tooth
profile can be deduced as follows:
αk = α0+(δ+δ1)+(δ+δ2)+· · · (δ+δk)
= α0+
k
_i=1
(δ+δi) = α0+kδ+

_i=1
δi . (5)
By ni?1ni = Gi(sin δ?sin δi)/ cos(αi?1 +δ), Eq. 5 can be
obtained:
n0nk =
k
_i=1
ni?1ni =
k
_i=1
Gi(sin δ?sin δi )
cos(αi?1 +δ)
. (6)
Thus the mathematical model of the No. 2 portion for the LogiX
rack profile is as follows:
_x1 = n0nk ?ρmk cos αk
y1 = ρmk sin αk
(No. 2) . (7)
Similarly, the mathematical models of the other three segments
can also be obtained as follows:
_x1 =?(n0nk ?ρmk cos αk)
y1 =?ρmk sin αk
(No.1) (8)
_x1 = s?(n0nk ?ρmk cos αk)
y1 = ρmk sin αk
(No.3) (9)
_x1 = s+n0nk ?ρmk cos αk
y1 =?ρmk sin αk
(No.4) . (10)

of LogiX gear and its basic
rack
3.2 Mathematical module of the LogiX gear
The coordinates O1X1Y1, O2X2Y2 and PXY are set up as shown
in Fig. 6 to express the mesh relationship between the LogiX
rack and the LogiX gear. Here, O1X1Y1 is fixed on the rack, and
O1 is the point of intersection between the rack tooth profile and
its pitch line. O2X2Y2 is fixed on the meshed gear, and O2 is the
gear’s centre. PXY is an absolute coordinate, and P is the point
of intersection of the rack’s pitch line and the gear’s pitch circle.
In accordance with gear meshing theories [3], if the above
model of the LogiX rack tooth profile is changed from coordinate
O1X1Y1 to OXY, and then again to O2X2Y2, a new type of gear
profile model can be deduced as follows:
_x2 =?ρmk cos αk cos ?2 ?(ρmk sin αk ?r2) sin ?2
y2 =?ρmk cos αk sin ?2 +(ρmk sin αk ?r2) cos ?2 .
(11)
Here the positive direction of ?2 is clockwise, and only the model
of the LogiX gear tooth profile in the first quadrant of the coordinates
is given.
4 Effect on the performance of the LogiX gear by its
inherent parameters and their reasonable selection
Besides the basic parameters of the standard involute rack, the
LogiX tooth profile has inherent basic parameters such as initial
pressure angle α0, relative pressure angle δ, initial basic circle
radius G0, etc. The selection of these parameters has a great influence
on the form of the LogiX tooth profile, and the form
directly influences gear transmission performance. Thus the reasonable
selection of these basic parameters is very important.
4.1 Influence and selection of initial pressure angle α0
Considering the higher transmission efficiency in practical design,
the initial pressure angle α0 should be selected as 0?. But
the final calculation result showed that the LogiX gear tooth profile
cut by the rack tool whose initial pressure angle was equal
to zero would be overcut on the pitch circle generally. Thus the
initial pressure angle α0 cannot be zero. Comparing the relative
double circle-arc gear [3], we can also deduce that the smaller
792
the initial pressure angle α0, the larger the gear number for producing
the overcut. Thus the initial pressure angle α0 should
not only not be zero, but should not be too small, either. From
Eqs. 3, 4 and 5, the influence of α0 on the LogiX tooth profile
can be directly described by Fig. 7. Obviously, increasing the initial
pressure angle will cause the curvature of the LogiX rack
tooth profile to become larger. If the rack selects a larger module
and too small an initial pressure angle α0, its addendum will
become too narrow or even overcut. Thus the LogiX tooth profile
that selects a larger module should select a smaller α0, and
the profile that selects a smaller module should select a larger
α0. Generally, by practical calculation experience, the selected
α0 should be located within a range of 2? ～ 12?, and the larger
the LogiX gear module, the smaller should be its initial pressure
angle α0.
4.2 Influence and selection of initial basic circle radius G0
According to the empirical formula Gi = G0{1?sin(0.6αi )} [1],
there are two parameters affecting the basic circle radius Gi of
the LogiX gear at different positions of tooth profile: one is the
G0 and the other is the initial pressure angle αi . Figure 8 shows
the influence of G0 on the LogiX tooth profile when certain
values of parameter α0 and δ are selected. Obviously, as G0 increases,
the curvature of the new type of gear tooth profile will
become smaller and smaller. Conversely, it will become increasingly
larger as G0 decreases. Thus the new type of rack with
a large module parameter should select a large G0 value, and
one having a small module parameter should select a small G0
value.
4.3 Influence and selection of relative pressure angle δ
Figure 9 shows the variable of the tooth profile affected by the δ
parameter. According to the forming process of the LogiX tooth
Fig. 7. Influence of α0 on
LogiX tooth profile
Fig. 8. Influence of G0 on
LogiX tooth profile
Fig. 9. Influence of δ on
LogiX tooth profile
profile, the smaller the selected parameter δ, the larger the number
of N-Ps meshing on the tooth profile of two LogiX gears.
From Sect. 2.1 the formula describing the relative pressure angle
δk of an arbitrary N-P mk can be deduced as follows:
sin(αk?1+δ)
cos(αk?1 +δ) =
2?(cos δ+cos δk)
sin δ?sin δk
. (12)
By Eqs. 5 and 12, the larger the δ parameter being selected, the
larger will be the δk parameter, and at certain selected values
of the initial pressure angle and maximum pressure angle, the
lower will be the number of N-Ps. By contrast, the smaller
the δ parameter, the larger the number of N-Ps. While δ is
0.0006?, the number of zero points can exceed 46,000. In this
case, selecting a gear module of m = 100, the length of the
micro-involute curve between two adjoining N-Ps will be only
a few microns. That is to say, during the whole meshing process
of the LogiX gear transmission, the sliding and rolling
motions happen alternately and last only a few micro-seconds
from one motion to another between two meshed gear tooth profiles.
The greater the number of N-Ps, the longer the relative
rolling time between two LogiX gears and the shorter the relative
sliding time between two LogiX gears. Thus abrasion of the
gear decreases and its loading capability and life span are improved.
But, considering the restriction of memory capability,
interpolation speed, angular resolution, etc. for the CNCmachine
tool used while cutting this type of gear, the relative pressure
angle selected should not be very small. δ _ 0.0006? is generally
satisfactory.

4.4 Reasonable selection example
Based on the above analytical rules for LogiX gear inherent parameter
selection, a reasonable calculation and selection results
for the initial pressure angle and basic circle radius while selecting
different modules at the relative pressure angle δ = 0.05? are
listed in Table 1 for reference. In fact, the practical selections
should be reasonably modified by the concrete cutting conditions
and the special purpose requirement.
5 Conclusions
The following conclusions were made based on the findings presented
in this paper.
1. Two-dimensional meshing transmission models of LogiX
gears were deduced by further analysis of its forming
principle.
2. The influence on the LogiX gear tooth profile and its performance
by the gear’s own basic parameters such as initial
pressure angle, initial basic circle radius and relative pressure
angle was discussed and their reasonable selection was given.
3. The theoretical system of the LogiX gear was developed and
the mathematical basis for generating the LogiX tooth profile
by modern CNC technology was established. The characteristics
of the LogiX gear, which are different from those of the
ordinary standard involute gear, can have broad application
and most significantly impact the improvement of carrying
capacity, miniaturisation and longevity of kinetic transmission
products.

Abstract The development of scientific technology and productivity
has called for increasingly higher requirements of gear
transmission performance. The key factor influencing dynamic
gear performance is the form of the meshed gear tooth profile. To
improve a gear’s transmission performance, a new type of gear
called the LogiX gear was developed in the early 1990s. However,
for this special kind of gear there remain many unknown
theoretical and practical problems to be solved. In this paper, the
design principle of this new type of gear is further studied and
the mathematical module of its tooth profile deduced. The influence
on the form of this type of tooth profile and its mesh
performance by its inherent basic parameters is discussed, and
reasonable selections for LogiX gear parameters are provided.
Thus the theoretical system information about the LogiX gear are
developed and enriched. This study impacts most significantly
the improvement of load capacity, miniaturisation and durability
of modern kinetic transmission products.

1 Introduction
In order to improve gear transmission performance and satisfy
some special requirements, a new type of gear [1] was put forward;
it was named “LogiX” in order to improve some demerits
of W-N (Wildhaver-Novikov) and involute gears.
Besides having the advantages of both kinds of gears mentioned
above, the new type of gear has some other excellent

characteristics. On this new tooth profile, the continuous concave/
convex contact is carried out from its dedendum to its addendum,
where the engagements with a relative curvature of zero
are assured at many points. Here, this kind of point is called the
null-point (N-P). The presence of many N-Ps during the mesh
process of LogiX gears can result in a smaller sliding coefficient,
and the mesh transmission performance becomes almost
rolling friction accordingly. Thus this new type of gear has many
advantages such as higher contact intensity, longer life and a
larger transmission-ratio power transfer than the standard involute
gear. Experimental results showed that, given a certain
number of N-Ps between two meshed LogiX gears, the contact
fatigue strength is 3 times and the bend fatigue strength 2.5 times
larger than those of the standard involute gear. Moreover, the
minimum tooth number can also be decreased to 3, much smaller
than that of the standard involute gear.
